Battery Materials

Batteries operate via an electrochemical reaction where lithium (Li) ions oscillate between the positive (+) and negative (-) poles to produce electricity. These batteries are rechargeable and power various applications from EVs and IT devices to household appliances.

A battery comprises four key components: cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and separators. Ultium CAM focuses on the most crucial of these – the cathode.

Cathode
Cathodes constitute the positive charge (+) in batteries. They act as the energy source for lithium in lithium-ion batteries, influencing both battery capacity and average voltage. Ultium CAM specializes in producing nickel-rich NCM (Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese) cathodes. We're geared towards expanding our production capacity parallelly with the EV market's growth. Our annual cathode production is estimated to touch 300,000 tons, a global benchmark.
